A Processingtalk guide
Start with the news release
ABB's Orimaster flowmeter cuts installation costs from
ABB Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation), which we summarised at the time by saying "The cost of installing orifice plate flowmeters has been cut by up to 40 per cent with the launch of ABB's Orimaster compact orifice DP flowmeter.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release PI extract denotes Profisafe as leading technology from
Profibus Group: "Profisafe is currently regarded as the global market leader with more than 630,000 Profisafe nodes, according to an extract in an article from Profibus International (PI).".
In July 2009, we covered the news from HBM UK
- take a look at HBM offers T12 models with lower measuring ranges
which says: "HBM has extended its T12 series of digital torque transducers with models for the lower measuring ranges of 100Nm and 200Nm.".
Take a look also at the news release from Nord Drivesystems, SK 200E frequency inverter range launched by Nord,
as well as Procon supplies beltweighers for iron ore plants from Procon Engineering,
and Verwer details Profibus Installer Course from Verwer Training & Consultancy.
